Stop being shitty. Skill issue.
- Comment on Ubisoft investors push for company sale as shares hit decade-low 5 weeks ago:
“This is a case of a rare incel victory that led to Ubisoft having to take down its numbers,” they added.
Some analysts point to sheer number of games available today, their high prices, and the cost of living crisis for a slowdown in the gaming market. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot himself admitted that gamers now expect extraordinary experiences, and that “delivering solid quality is no longer enough.”
The lesson learned is pander even more and make the hog slop an even more finely liquefied puree of fanservice shit! cap-think
- Comment on Blizzard Co-Founder Reveals True Reason For Departure 5 weeks ago:
I still remember when one of the founding developers of the Diablo series quit after too much corporate skullduggery and went somewhere else to make Torchlight instead.
The corpos he left behind, failsons and businessbros that they were, left a Twitter message regarding that founder’s departure:
“FUCK THAT LOSER.”
That’s what pieces of shit were left in Blizzard ever after.
- Comment on Blizzard Co-Founder Reveals True Reason For Departure 5 weeks ago:
When something you love gets slowly corrupted.
I wonder if those “corruption” cliches in Blizzard game storytelling throughout the Kotick regime were a sort of subtle cry for help, the way Origin’s developers cried for help during Ultima VII with EA-logo evil magic devices and the like and the massive dunking on Richard “Lord British” Garriot in the Serpent Isle expansion.

Kotick was an enjoyer of Little St. James Island, which may come as no surprise to some. epsteingelion

“massive prosperity”
“It will trickle down this time. Just trust me, bro! Just a few thousand more acres of burned forest and a few more dried up lakes! This time it’ll trickle down and solve the problems that it’s already massively contributing to, for real!”

This sounds like something between hype and occult prophecy. Again.

- Comment on Hasbro CEO Says AI Will Become Core Part of Dungeons & Dragons 1 month ago:
At some point start introducing power creep so players want to purchase access to new classes and feats.
4th edition already pulled that grift, making each additional book full of Glowing Eyed Generic Epic People a bit more power-creeped than the last.

Racists that coded their biases into it can say “it’s just the algorithm!” while the racism machine does a racism.

They’ll probably try the “blind bag” monetization of minis again… or worse, do “blind bags” of subscription model virtual minis. cap-think

Digital art, at the least, didn’t uplift itself at the uncredited expense of the artists themselves, pushing them further into precarity.
- Comment on Hasbro CEO Says AI Will Become Core Part of Dungeons & Dragons 1 month ago:
you instead surrender the creativity to someone’s fickle whims
The corpos want entire game groups to surrender their own creativity to the diluted reconstituted slop churned out by the treat printers… and pay for that privilege.
I’m sure some will go for it, and never experience the joy of being creative themselves, or having a creative Dungeon Master for that matter. Just line up for more IP-regurgitating slop that burns down acres of forest amid all the prompt retries! brrrrrrrrrrrr

There’s got to be a way to make use of the old stuff in a way that doesn’t pay the fees. You know, where it seems to be broken and thrown away, but it isn’t. pirate-jammin
- Comment on Microsoft will try the data-scraping Windows Recall feature again in October 2 months ago:
What they’re doing is likely to work because it follows the pattern of outrage, waiting out the outrage, and doing the thing that caused outrage anyway.
It’s what they want, and unless something remarkable happens, they’re going to get it. They’re competent at it, fucked up as it is.
- Comment on Microsoft will try the data-scraping Windows Recall feature again in October 2 months ago:
The feature will also be off by default
For now. so-far
